[QUOTE="vidareve, post: 83523, member: 13587"] Hi there fergus, and thank you for your reply. I'm using an Omron Body Fat Monitor for measuring my Body Fat and BMI. This morning I rechecked it and my Body fat was 18,6%, and my BMI was 25,8. It's a litle bit difficult to tell exactly how much insulin I'm using, because it depends on the testing of my blood sugar, but normal I take 1 u of the Novo rapid insulin per 10g of glucose I'm eating, so for breakfast and lunch, where I take 40g carbs, I take 4 units, for the snacks like apple. oranges and bananas I don't take anything, and for dinner if I'm calculating my dinner to be 60g, depending on the potatoes, I take 6 units. As backup insulin, I use Lantus, and I take 14 units at midnight. I have to be very careful with my insulin, because I'm training so much, because my job is making me sit still in front of my computer, for many hours every day, and it's easy to get very low. I've just bought a new book from the US, 'The stubborn fat fix' which tells how to eat more GI foods and lose weight with GI foods, but I haven't received it yet. I prefer to eat natural organic foods,but I don't always do it, because here where I live it's not so many shops providing organic foods. I live in US as well, part of the year, and there they have many more shops with only organic food, and with lots of fruit and vegetables we don't provide here in the UK. [/QUOTE]
